The Ghost’s Child, by Sonya Hartnett, is a wonderful book about a child’s fairy-tale life, told form the point of view of the girl as an old woman. In her imaginary life, she meets a boy, falls in love, and marries him, but he is always looking toward the horizon, wanting to be free. After he leaves her, she must go on a magical journey to find him and figure out why he left. Addressing themes of memory, love, heartache, and fulfillment, this book is a great choice for anyone in middle through high school. Even though it is a relatively short book, much is contained in its pages.
